There was an article in the paper last week where Cab drivers don't want to drive at night anymore because of the possibility of violence and dealing with drunks. I'm all for extending licenses, or forcing passengers to pay a premium to the drivers after 11:00. But the fault lies with the city and the taxi commission.

A cost greater than EMS, fire and police showing up to a car wrapped around a light standard? Ok. Maybe not the perfect comparison, but the division between you and red, vs me, phan and flameswin is getting a little weird. It's starting to sound like you've got a problem for every solution. And the problem invariably lies in harsher punishment.
Taxi drivers are afraid to drive at night? Lets get them some plexiglass dividers. Bus drivers are hard to find? Up the pay. Taxpayers shouldn't have to pay for it? Charge a premium for these services. I know I'll pay.
